Ezra Pound is a continuing controversy -- and to many readers a dauntingly difficult and complex writer. But the author here approaches his life and work with a clear-eyed and sympathetic understanding of the poetic riches to be unlocked, and with a great teacher's gift for bringing the treasures into the light. His loving analysis of Pound's extraordinary poetry, his understanding of the background to Pound's peculiar political and social stances, his wise perceptions of how Pound relates to the whole of twentieth-century literature and life -- these are all elements in a truly masterful study and an important contribution to Pound studies.

Об авторе (1976)

Donald Davie was at the forefront of the poetic school of the 1950s known as the Movement. The group's aesthetic was characterized by simplicity, in contrast to the extravagant rhetoric and stylistic excesses that they felt marked neoromantic poetic trends. Unlike other Movement poets, though, Davie generally eschews a casual tenor or informal voice, resorting instead to a more traditional prosody and affirming the influence of late Augustan poets. Davie's most durable contribution to poetic debates of the period was a work of literary criticism called Purity of Diction in English Verse (1952). The laws of poetic syntax, he argues, are as momentous as the laws of human society and should be appreciated equally. Davie was born in Barnsley, a place that figures gloomily in much of his work. He has taught at universities in both Great Britain and the United States.
